we already have more ik on ik violence than any other forum, eventually it'll lead to a chain reaction where everyone's probed by someone else the moment their previous probation expires

In much the same way that Spain was reclaimed from the Moors for glorious christiandom, so too must CSPAM retake QCS for the glory of yelling about D&D.

I'm not trying to make a judgement call or anything but it's weird to see someone that posts in the no rules forum (the canonically best forum on SA i guess) complain that other forums aren't enforcing rules.

make c-spam a top level forum

its been at least 3+ years of being one of the, if not the, most popular places on this site (its older than that, but i can't speak to it being the most popular place cuz i don't remember); its time to make us our own thing, out from under d&d and all its bullshit

Honestly a bunch of posters are appropriately annoyed with CSPAM since this subforum does allow some pretty bad posting (click the here to see more bad posts) that goes without probations, but when i was IK i didn't probe bad posts either.

as IK I would probe any and all "Good Posts" so we could shackle the privileged and create an equal cspam society like ayn rand wanted in that one story about the ballerina or whatever.

From my understanding c-spam was supposed to be a leftist shitposting forum — emphasis on leftist — where you could discuss politics/current events without having to write long dissertations on different topics like in D&D. Start getting rid of trolls and negative attention seekers trying to turn threads into needless flame wars. Liberals have D&D, and right leaning people have GBS. FYAD has their own place for their stuff. It’s not to much to ask the c-spam mods to stop treating c-spam like some libertarian FREE_SPEECH zone where every kind of troll and grudgeposting against the subforum is allowed.

to be fair I don’t think there is really a solid consensus on what cspam is “for.” many posters, including myself, see it more as a spiritual successor to LF which while generally left wing, was by no means a forum for leftists exclusively. the most common shared trait in that era was the willingness to mock the absurd farce that is US/global politics, and posters with disparate political beliefs often set aside their differences to share in this joy. serious discussion is/was obviously fine, and even jokes often contain unironic points made subversively, but I think some folks find the joyless 24/7 serious discussion...but in lowercase...a bit tedious.

that’s not to say that cspam should become lf circa 2009, or that that kind of discussion shouldn’t be allowed. I just think this difference of opinion seems to be at the root of a lot of the conflict around here.

I was using ironic hyperbole, where I say something clearly untrue in order to elide a greater truth, in this case that I am neither of those things and that would be a stupid reason to ban someone for doing something, the joke is in the contradiction and in the tension between my explanation and the observable reality, I hope this helps you on your path to becoming a real boy
